Ex Amazon worker now at Sharps Pixley?

[Fishface220]

I wonder if Amazon are aware that Sharps Pixley have stolen one of their best workers??

This package was not getting lost in the Royal Mail system!!

Did they manage to fit it on a single pallet? 

[Richym99]

You think that is bad. 

The coin cabinet use similar size DHL packets, to house three or four further envelopes inside for a single coin. 

[Alex944]

I understand that packaging has to be appropriate, but this is a bit of a waste of packaging material unfortunately. Seems to happen quite a lot

Not likely to get lost and look like some papers or other non-descript package.  Re-use the unmarked jiffy.

Yep, Jiffy bag will be reused and anything which stops stuff going missing is all good with me! 

Opened it expecting a load of random flyers but nowt apart from the coin.

I’ve sent stuff out in old dvd cases for that very reason.

No pallet and pretty sure it hitched a ride in the van with a load of other parcels and packets

Did you not get the free black jewellery pouch from S.P. ?
Maybe they ran out ....

Yep, got one..... struggled to get the coin into a tube whilst inside it so saving it for someone’s birthday!! 

Bit random but I’ll let it slide as the experience of using them for the 1st has been spot on! 

[Arganto]

I'd rather this than no padding and/or something easy to lose.

I save every padded envelope I get, having bought from TSF members who are on the ball I've amassed a decent collection! Too bad I'm a hoarder who sells very little...

[Bars]

Cant moan at the packaging, I’ve reused them for the two sales I’ve made on the forum, bubbled wrap coin goes in with lots of newspaper around.

Everyone’s happy!

Just out of experience I previously sent a coin using SD with the small envelope, it went missing for a month before eventually being delivered. 

My guess that was because it was a small size it may have got stuck/put aside untill it reappeared. A large packet/envelope has less chance of it being stuck in a sack or being put aside without it being noticed.

 

It is a waste of material but I think it provides a much greater chance of it being delivered safe and sound to the intended recipient.

I tape mine to the inside of a DVD case. Then into a jiffy. Works well so far. 

[SidS]

DVD cases, genius... You know I would never have thought about that in a million years! Seems obvious now. Might try that next time.

I have considered sending coins out in a tin before, but that's before all the bad press about coins in a tin, and also before I knew about how valuable these tins are. 😁

I can vouch for bigmarc’s packaging. Top rate!

Ha.

I had the same delivery this morning for 1 SOV. 😛
My son was pretending to have a crystal shop so he was appreciative of the little black bag.
